Seismic effect on design of residential multi-storey building (Stilt+17 floors) in zone-iii and zone-iv using etabs

Abstract

Structural Analysis is a branch which involves in the determination of behaviour of structures so as to predict the responses of different structural components due to impact of loads. ETABS (Extended 3 Dimensional Analysis of Building Systems) is a software which is incorporated with all the major analysis engines that are static, dynamic, linear and non-linear etc. The main purpose of this paper is to design Multi-storeyed building with a static method, since an effective design and construction of earthquake resistant structures are important all over the world. This project deals with seismic effect on “analysis, design and comparison of multi-storey residential building of stilt+17 floors in zone-iii and zone-iv using ETABS”. It is an attempt to study the behaviour of a residential building using ETABS in different zones and areas with same soil bearing capacity. Analysis and design has been carried out as per IS1843-2002 (Part-1) and IS 456:2000. The more drifts and displacements have been noticed in zone 4 compared to zone 3.
